forgot
not that you need to know about this, but i have to document it so i don't forget: i woke up sunday morning panicking and it lasted about 2 hours. the dogs looked at me strangely.

sound
the new earbuds are completely awesome. they don't even feel that weird. and i can hear every single little sound. it's as if i haven't heard some of my favorite songs correctly ever; that makes me a little sad.
August 26, 2008
*shrug*
can't think of anything worth taking up ones and zeros about.
August 25, 2008
in trouble
l'oreal has discontinued my hair dye, but i think i've found a suitable replacement.
compost!
i just bought a maxair kitchen composter. i have a kitchen scrap carrier, but all it's done since we moved is generate fruit fly larvae. yuck.
hopefully, this new container will live up to the testimonials.
funny pics
sexy people. this is one of the most amusing things i'll probably see all day.
lol
i crack me up.
joy's blog is all set up. i still have to go through the podcast and edit out all the clicks and uhms, that's the tedious part.
August 22, 2008
erm
my lame attempt at forcing myself to post at least once a morning has left me with little to say today.
except, i could tell you about what i want to accomplish this weekend, mostly saturday. i'd like to try to record episode one of knitting with joy, take my lappy to mickey's and spend a couple hours setting up knittingwithjoy.com and editing the audio file. that last part probably won't happen until sunday cuz it's tedious. and i need to d'l some sound effects for the radio show.

stuffs
my new earbuds are out for delivery. these will prevent cubemates from becoming angry at my leaky apple earbuds.
and now, for some reason, i want to get a 22" widescreen monitor for the computer that i almost never use. they're so much cheaper than when i bought my 17", it's almost embarrassing.
August 20, 2008
meh
i'm achy and tired. i'm also anticipating this winter being the second worst insofar as my mood.
i just pulled my head down, chin toward chest, and felt the muscles in my back scream.
August 19, 2008
:(
really bad dream last night. i was trapped in a house with some weird guy and i came upon jones who had all these gnats and bugs flying around him and his side was all swollen and he growled at me in pain when i tried to pet him.
i gave him a big hug when i woke up.

<3
i love how listening to alice in chains' dirt makes me feel; 15-years-old and all a-twitter about the boy who gave me the cd. lol.
:x i just spent the last 5 minutes googling him; apparently he still lives in middleton.
omg you guise
i just bought knittingwithjoy.com. joy's going to have her very own website!
can you believe no one, in the history of the internet, has thought of and purchased that url yet? weird.
counting
i just looked at the clock and thought "less than 9 hours." :/
had a pretty good weekend, but it went by too fast. i've been sleeping in later than usual, so that doesn't help. the dudes at revolution have had my bike since thursday afternoon. i've done a lot of walking this weekend. they better be done today or i'm going to take it back. seriously.

i'll pull a fridayfrive from four years ago. the answers are amazingly similar.
1. When was the last time you laughed?
this a.m. colin said, "i'm going to put my sandwich in the fridge. cuz i like it cold if you know what i mean." i lol'ed
2. Who was the last person you had an argument with?
kurty. on monday night.
3. Who was the last person you emailed?

4. When was the last time you bathed?
showered last night.
5. What was the last thing you ate?
world's greatest sans bacon. i'm still finishing my coffee this am so i can't eat my yogurt yet.
August 14, 2008
friggin chatty today
one more thing! i thought i may have been coming down with the strep, but it seems to be going away. that is all.

it's me! via: face your manga
mass transit
there are two things stopping me from taking the bus to work. one is the initial departure time, and the other is the one-minute layover between buses. kurt says i can tell the first bus driver to ask the second bus driver to not leave til i get there, but that seems narcissistic.
maybe, after i get my bike repaired tomorrow, i will use it to get downtown and then i don't have to worry about a transfer.
in other news: i'm as tired as rip van winkle today.
August 13, 2008
bleh
i just spilled nearly a large amount of coffee on my desk (it missed my phone by less than an inch). i wish my personal fan were here to cheer me on.
in other news: this is my ninth entry titled "bleh". i'll bet the other eight have been in the last year.
August 12, 2008
uh..
twitter and stumbleupon are both down simultaneously? lame.
pets
i've had upwards of a million pets since my very first salamander. none nearly as long as my childhood cat, bailey (after bailey quarters from wkrp in cincinnati).
mom emailed me today to say that it was time for her to scoot along, she was either 21 or 180, not sure which.
perfect
i find it difficult to describe what i do in a cube all day... i think this little chart sums it up enough for the average layperson.
no subject
i spent a large part of sunday listening to pandora radio in an attempt to expand my music collection, but i didn't find anything worth putting on my lala want-list.
on a side note: my left hand has been tingling since i got out of bed. i need an adjustment. except every time he's about to adjust my neck, i think, "what if he effs up this time?"
August 11, 2008
average
the weekend went a little faster than i would have liked... i did pick eight ginormous cucumbers which i gave to the kitchen at mickey's.
i have a pretty annoying work week ahead of me.
in other news, isaac hayes died?
August 8, 2008
ugh!
nothing is more annoying than people arguing about favre and the jets. as if anyone has any say.

more about joy
the story of joy is generating much interest at work; we've rounded her character out pretty well. we've given her a job at the relay system for the hearing impaired; but she keeps one shift a week at joanne fabrics in order to retain the benefit of an employee discount.
her eventual foray into a professional studio includes having to share the 3am slot with "najir @ night" on 95.3 kqad the place for rock in the quad cities.
please stay tuned, and thank you for being a friend.
huh
this friday is 08/08/08.
in other news, i've volunteered to cut a friends' hair this evening.
August 6, 2008
better
i got more sleep last night. things are turning up.
i will, however, have to manufacture some genuine energy for work soon. if i showed you a screenshot of my calendar for the next two work weeks (and if just hearing "work calendar" makes you throw up a little), you'd cringe. i have about 16 projects going on right now. i'm actually blocking time so people won't schedule meetings so i can get work done. O_O
p.s., i think it's funny and weird that i follow wil wheaton on twitter.
August 5, 2008
kind of annoyed
randomly feeling on the verge of crying. work should not make a person feel this way.
sleep deprivation doesn't help either. i could not fall asleep last night. i think it was 5 before i didn't see the clock for an hour.
*grumble*
i was about to say it has been a while since a workstress dream. until last night.
it actually involved me (in the dream) yelling, "mother FUH!" and it woke me up, two minutes before the alarm would have.

billz
i use my inbox as a todo list of things to respond to, things to read, or bills to pay. the only thing in it right now are four bills to pay. that's depressing.
lol
i need to round out my weekend apparel, so i just bought two new tshirts from bustedtees. this one and this one. hilarity.
long weekend
they go by too fast. i guess i shouldn't complain. i've been hangin' out with people whose schedules allow them very little consecutive free time.
i picked two ready cukes yesterday but i couldn't think of anything to make, so they're in the fridge. hopefully i won't just end up composting them. the dirt in the garden has really settled. i hope i don't have to get much more next year.
happy monday...
